Farmers Beware.

Last Saturday A. Nyland, Of Prairie
view township. called at the HERALD
Office to state his troubles in ordering a
Wind Mill from Biglow Phelps & Co.
He claims that when he contracted for
the windmill the agent told him it
would cost complete but S1O5. With
this representation he signed the con-
tract and ordered the mill. The mill
came and with 1t a man who set 1t up.
Afterwards another man came and pre-
scented him with two prOmisOry notes to
sign of $1,000 each or a total considera-
ton of 1874. When he objected, the
agent showed him the contract he had
signed and upon careful examination
he found to one side, some printing in
fine type which provided for ''extras''
&c. This fine type he did not notice
when he signed the contract. Finding
that he was caught, and being threat
ened with a law suit he thought best to
sign the notes for $4,000.
All along the HERALD has told the
to sign any paper presented by a stran-
ger till they understand thoroughly
what provisions the written instrument
contained. Mr.. Nyland says others
were caught in the same snap that he
got in. If these gentlemen had gone
to Geo. w. Young, h, E. Prentice,
H, B. Abbott or Weeks & Mcdonald OF
PhIllipsburg, or to SantrOck & Giles Of
Kirwin, or to n. w. Gibbs, of Marvin
or other Phillips county dealers and or
dered their wind-mills through them,
they would have saved a nice sum OF
money and lots of trouble. Home deal
ers can be held responsible for their
representations but these foreign men
are hard TO catch. Farmers who read
the HERALD are seldom taken in by
''sharPs'' as we are vigilant and prompt
in detecting and exposing them.

- Conn., Oountv Fair.

Perhaps every reader of the HERALD
by this time knows that the Phillips
County Fair takes place at Phiiipsburg
on September 27th. 28th, 29th and 3Oth.
The total amount of premiums offered
is 81 800. This county has had eight
annual fairs, but it is designed by the
management to make this, the ninth
one, the best that has ever been held.
The premiums offered on cattle, horses
and other live stock are very generous
as we'll as on farm products. We can
not OF course in one short newspaper
article publish the list of premiums Of
fered for it is quite extended. 1t is to
be hoped that every farmer or other
person, who thinks there is any proba-
biLty that he may attend the Fair, will
apply to j. S. Barnes, Secretary, for
a pamphlet containing the full list of
premiums offered and other useful in
formation about the coming exhibition.
The management is sparing no pains
to make the fair a grand success. They
are erecting the necessary stock sheds
and putting the grounds in good shape.
Again, the HERALD calls on all its
readers in Phillips county to make
their arrangements to attend the Fair.
Bring some stock, or product Of the
farm, or of the household, to exhibit.
Let Phillips county show to the world
that we deserve the reputation we have
of being about the best county in the
State If you have nothing to exhibit
come to the fair anyway, and have q
good time

From Mound Townahin.

ED. HERALD: In the HERALD Of
last week you correspondent from Ash
Greek, ''Ped'', is very much dissatis-
fed about the location of the Station in
this township. He claims it had been
reported that the station was to be To-
Gated in the eastern edge of the town
ship and that the idea was held out to
the voters that the station would 90
near to the centre of the township as
possible. Now, Mr.. Ped, there never
was any effort made to have the station
in the eastern part of the township.
You say there is a very eligible site
near the centre TO which approach is
very easy especially the east, west and
north, and the voters fail to see why it
should not have been located there.
Now my friend, it looks like you do
not know where the centre is, or you
would not write as you did. 1 will bet
that every voter will fail to see the good
site you mentioned. Let US compare
your good site with the site some peO-
pie haYe selected. Yours is on section
II and 10, Now when you start town,
IS not the roads about the first thing to
cOnsiderP What good roads have you
to the place you refer to. There IS no
road from the south and is very hard to
fix one over that billy ground. The
road gong west is certainly not a good
one and It is rough over the bluffs, and
never can be made a good road. There
is 40 road to the north and one can
never be made unless with heavy ex-
Pense, and it IS the same on the east
side. The good site you refer to is sur
rounded on the east, north and west
by creeks and high banks and on the
south by the biuffs-a poor place for a
station and town.
Now let us see about the other place.
That IS about the centre east and west,
of section. Il. 1 do not need to say
much about this. Every man knowing
this location must admit that it is by
far the best place of the two for a sta
ton and a town. There is a great deal
of level country around it and good
roads from every direction, and rs for
being near the centre, there is not much
difference.
The site mentioned by Mr.. Ped is
very near the center east and west but
one mile from the center north and
sOuth. while The other place is very near
the center north and south and one
mile from the center east and west,
Therefore there is only one half mile in
favor of Ped's place mentioned.
Row is it not better for the people
of Mound to have a station at a place
accessible by good roads, even if it is
a little further for some than TO 20 to
Il nearer place where there are no
good roads, and when it will cost the
township several thousands dollars to
bridge the streams and have an ever
lasting expense.
L believe every one in the township
will be more benefited by having the
station on a good level country even
if it is a little further from the center
than to have it at Il place where peO-
pie would not like to go on account of
bad roads. AS it is the station will
probably be on section 10, and I hope
to see a good town build up there, but
am afraid it will be a good thing for
Big Bend, Marvin and Phiilipsburg,
TAN PAYER.

Doctor Wallace suggests that eonsid-
ering PhiIhpsburgs brilliant future
prospects we ought to organize and
charter an Electric Light Company, set
che ball to rolling for Water Works and
other improvements and thus keep pace
with other Kansas towns There is no
doubt but that our prospects for becom-
ing the leading town in Northwestern
Kansas are very bright, but we viii
have boom the town and keep booming
it, for no town viii grow unless the peo-
pie are wide-aWake and enterprising.

Saved His Life.

MI. D. I. WiIcoxson, of Horse Cave,
Ky, says he was, for many years,
badly afflicted with phthisic, also dia-
betes: the pains were almost uneudu-
rable and would sometimes almost
throw him into cOnVuiiiOns. He tried
Eiectic Bitters and got relief from
first bottle and after taking six bottles,
was entirely cured, and had gained III
flesh eighteen pounds. Says lie posi-
lively believes he would have died,

by Eclectic Bitters. Sold at 50 cents

A Hotel to Cost From 10000 to
$4,000 to be Erected IN the
CITY Of PhiIlipsburg.

The arrangements are about compile
ted for the erection Of a fine hotel in
this town. Recently there was a stock
company organized which has been IN
cOFpOrated, and which is known as the
''Phillpsburg Loan and Investment
Company s" with a capital stock of
$50 OOOs the directors of which are j.
b, Starr, Of COncOrdia, sVm. Bissell,
j. F. Morse, q. A. Spaulding and
q. w. Young, of this city. This asso-
citation proposes to begin soon the cree
ton of splendid hotel near the north
east corner OF the public square on the
old school house site. The plans have
not been ali drawn in detail, but we
may say in a general way that the
structure will be three stories in high
tn, will contain forty sleeping rooms,
and will cost from 10, 600 to SO 900
exclusive of the grounds. 1t will have
a frontage TO the westward of T5 feet
and on the south % feet. We have
seen a drawing of the plan but will not
attempt description suffice it TO say
the house will be first class in all its
appointments. The basement will be
fitted up for billiard rooms, sample
rooms, barber shops, &c, we learn
that the matter will be submitted TO the
Board Of Trade and some assistance
solicited. but It is a settled fact the no.
tel will be built.
LATER--Since the above was put in type we
have interviewed j. /. MOrse, Esq, in regard 10
the proposed new hotel. We learn from him and
from an examination OF the plan, that it is 90 be
really magnificent building-the best hotel in
northwest Kansas, with all the modern improve
ments of the largest city hotels. This is In our
opinion the next thing in importance 20 Phillips
burg TO the Railroad shops. A first class modern
hotel VIII do more TO advertise our city than my
thing except newspapers. The proposed builders
feel that the town ought to help them some in
this most important movement They do not
ask much assistance but do solicit some as the
erection OF grand hotel here viii beneHt all. The
